Coot Math?? this seems really funny to me - official SCU

athletics web site: Under "Traditions" - pay attention to the last sentence - would cut the text but it is all kind of funny.
2001 The University of South Carolina Gamecocks feature perhaps the most unique and electrifying pregame entry in all of college football. In fact, The Sporting News rated USC's "2001" as the most exciting pregame entry in all of college football. As the minutes wind down on the game clock prior to the opening kickoff, the Gamecocks leave the locker room following final pregame instruction from their coaching staff and assemble in the tunnel in the southwest corner of Williams-Brice Stadium. Then, as the crowd of more than 82,000 begins its roar of anticipation, the first notes of the them song from "2001-A Space Odyssey" blare over the stadium sound system. As the music continues, the enthusiasm of the crowd is feverish. Finally, at just the exact moment, in perfect coordination with the music, the Gamecocks hit the field running, and the stadium goes wild.
This magical moment has been captured by national television, including ESPN, CBS, ABC, Jefferson-Pilot, ESPN-2, and WTBS, during those networks' telecasts of games at Williams-Brice Stadium. It is indeed one of the special traditions in college football.
The theme "2001" corresponds with the University's Bicentennial, which was celebrated four years ago.

So articles that are outdated should be revised to be accurate? The article shouldn't be revised because it was written by someone, maybe someone should go write a new one and put it on there. This is why articles should be written without those type lines, should be worded "for the bicentennial which was in 2001" or similar to that. Then again, Todd Is not an English professor so he doesn't know that type stuff.

Re: Are you saying that Todd Ellis wrote this????

Lol yes, look at the bottom of it. I feel fairly confident that he wrote it for something else and then it was used for that on the site.

See you are just being rude whereas I've said nothing rude to anyone. There's errors and outdated stuff everywhere, doesn't mean that it makes the entire university or collection of fans idiots. If you look hard enough you will probably even find one on your own site.

Not gonna lie, I've seen highschool teams running down hills too. Lol, no offense, but it's literally impossible to be original with any entrances nowadays.

I dunno, I've seen a lot of hills in my life. I mean you got rock hill, hamburger hill, all sorts of hills. In that case y'all stole tiger rag from a music sheet found in a store in Atlanta? That wasn't originally y'all's. lol

My first question is...did USuCk use 2001 as entrance music first, or did Rick Flair?
Second question...did USuCk use fire extinguishers for an entrance first, or did thousands of high schools along with University of Miami use it first?
Third question...did these high school teams you speak of start running down their hill for their entrance first, or was Clemson first?
Now do you see the difference between a tradition, and ripping off traditions from others?

You don't have the intelligence to update your "traditions" page on your own recruiting page.... Second paragraph
Cockaboose Railroad
Photo Gallery of the Cockaboose Railroad
What is perhaps the most unique form of tailgating and featured throughout the years in numerous magazines and television shows, the Cockaboose railroad has made its way to Columbia and University of South Carolina football. Twenty-two cabooses line a railroad track just outside of Williams-Brice Stadium - but these rail cars don't move and they certainly aren't something you would see passing by on the rear end of a train.
More than 14 years ago, a local businessman and his wife finally had enough of the railroad tracks which sit just a stone's throw from the south side of the stadium. The next season, in 1990, the beautifully-designed Cockaboose Railroad began catering to the serious Gamecock tailgater with amenities never before associated with in tailgating: running water, cable television, air conditioning, and heating, and a living room highlight each and every Cockaboose.
The Carolina Cockabooses are stationary and many are wired with closed-circuit television to watch Gamecock away games if making the trip is not feasible.
"The Cockaboose Railroad" - and it's different, it's unique, and it's exciting; and there's nothing else like it in the nation.
